Talk about getting in your way. For something that claims to be user friendly it's so frustrating, vomit-inducing, hair-pulling, angering, suicide inducing, scream at the top of your lungs difficult to get anything to work correctly.

Obviously, Windows is NOT an IDE. I do understand the workplace and its usual lack of competent OS's.

I'm by no means any kind of coder of merit. I do very small projects and scripts, all of which could be done hella better. Yet, I want to add that, when trying to improve anything I do, IDE's have gotten in the way more than a collection of simple tools. Even on the windows box at work, I install gvim and whatever compiler is neccessary for the language and I'm ready to go. Just copy down the vimrc file I have on my web server to get everything going, all very clean and efficient.

I use Kate and for slightly bigger things i'll use a stripped down kdevelop. The cool thing is that they both use the same text widget, so the desert theme I ported to it rocks on both of them

I also ported desert to konsole and .xdefaults (xterm and co)

Desert pwns!

:make in vim, grab a gdb plugin and :GdbInit or something becomes a command, and viola

Seriously, just break apart the acronym: Integrated Development Environment. I set up Kate to have a list of all the source files I'm using, it edits those files, and then I can click the terminal button to open up a terminal pane and I type in "scons" and my program is built, "out" and my program is running. I don't see the difference in me typing "scons" and clicking a toolbar button. Vim is the same way, I can always just ":!scons" it and I'm done. Seems integrated to me, I never have to leave the editor.

The difference between Kate, Vim, etc. and an IDE such as Anjuta, Eclipse, or *gasp* KDevelop is simply the functionality you desire. I personally don't have any use for "functionality" that gets in the way of how I code (such as Makefiles and such when I use SCons) and I don't have any reason to sit and wait for Eclipse to suck up half my RAM.
